Two articles on the gap between an overloaded IT lead and a full-time CIO — and what a fractional one actually does.
Someone accountable for technology strategy, budget, and vendor decisions who is not also the person resetting passwords. Fractional, so a $50M company gets the judgment without the salary line.
The usual tell is that technology decisions have started waiting on one overloaded person, or are being made by whichever vendor asked most recently.
Because $50M–$300M companies are too large for a break-fix MSP and too small to be an enterprise vendor's priority. We wrote about that gap because we keep landing in it.
Why mid-market companies ($50M–$300M revenue) fall between enterprise integrators and small dev shops, and what to look for in a partner that actually fits the middle.
What to do when your business has outgrown reactive IT but can't justify a $200,000 hire. The fractional vCIO model, what the role actually does, and how to evaluate one.
One email, twice a month. No vendor pitches.
